PY - 2015 T2 - Principles of Critical Care, 4e AB - Increasingly successful solid organ transplantation has increased the need for organ donors.Maximizing organ procurement and expanding donor acceptance criteria should decrease the organ shortage.Aggressive ongoing critical care of the multiorgan donor is essential to improve organ retrieval and posttransplant graft performance.Understanding the process of brain death is essential for directing donor treatment strategies to ensure preservation and function of donor organs.The goals of management of the multiorgan donor are to maximize organ function by maintaining organ perfusion and oxygenation, and to promptly recognize and treat potential complications such as hypotension, dysrhythmia, pulmonary edema, massive diuresis, coagulopathy, hypothermia, and sepsis.
